OpenRC is a dependency based init system written in C and shell script. It is modular and can be extended by s6 supervisor and Linux cgroup. Keeping itself simple and stupid, OpenRC values Unix philosophy.
OpenRC is shipped with Debian stable since Jessie and runs on kFreeBSD and Hurd besides Linux. It readily runs Debian in LXC, OpenVZ, vserver containers, usermodel Linux or Xen domains.
In this talk I am going to walk you through the features of OpenRC, and show you how OpenRC is hacked to suit our needs in real life.
